When you make up your mind to finally tie the knot and enter holy matrimony, the first thing that you decide upon is a date. The wedding date is subject to a lot of things. You need to have enough time for preparations, get away from work, invite people and take care of so many other things. What is more, the date has to be coordinated with the convenience of siblings, relatives and even the preferred priest.
So, where does this leave astrology? Despite all the practical aspects that you need to think about and manage an auspicious occasion could also be included in the list to be considered.
But why give an astrologically auspicious date any importance at all?
You are a part of the universe
What a ludicrous statement! Of course you are a part of the universe. So, what has that got to do with your wedding date? According to ancient Vedic science as well as modern day science, all the heavenly bodies in the universe including the sun, moon and planets share a force of attraction, which is countered by their continuous motion.
Now, as an individual, you body is also a part of the universe and it only makes sense to accept that energies of the universe have an impact on the energies that exist in you. These energies act in different ways, depending on the positioning of planets and other heavenly bodies, at different times of the day.
On some days and at some certain time, the alignment of heavenly bodies is such that the timing is extremely positive for the person. Astrologers consider the rashi, kundli and other charts of the man and woman who are about to be married, study the planetary positions and see when they are compatible with the couple being married. Sometimes, these energies have a destructive or negative character. Such days have to be avoided.
The Right Muhurath
After making a lot of mathematical calculations, astrologers arrive at a date when energies are at their positive best for the couple. Naturally, getting married on this day lays the foundation of a long happily married life. What is more, astrologers reveal that the positivity of the day becomes a part of the couple’s life and continues to guide them towards good days. ‘Muhurath’ is the Sanskrit name for time. So, when you get married in the right muhurath, you experience a much better married life.
Does the date that is not chosen with astrology results in an unhappy marriage?
Not necessarily. Ultimately, the happiness in your marriage depends on how compatible you are with your life partner. But, if an established method of setting a marriage date, as is given in Indian astrology, promises to enhance your happily married life, then why not.
